At some point this year, U.S. Rep. Maxine Waters (D-California) went from being a congressional veteran to a pop-culture superstar.

She has earned an affectionate nickname, Auntie Maxine, which captures her ability to tell it as she sees it and deliver a devastating shame-on-you lecture to the Trump administration.

She's a formidable woman, a never-glad sufferer of fools, an unparalleled thrower of shade (Elle magazine wrote that her lipstick shade is Shade), a popular GIF, a frequent meme and the queen of viral videos,

The event has declared its theme to be "Reclaiming Our Time," a spin on a catch-phrase born of Waters' refusal to be stifled or filibustered by Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin at a congressional hearing.

In a statement, Waters has said, "I’m very excited that “Reclaiming Our Time” will be the official theme of the Women’s Convention in October. When I spoke at the Women’s March in January, I was inspired by the movement I saw unfolding — millions of women coming together to stand up and fight back."

We're excited for a viral moment to emerge from the Waters visit to the Motor City. Until then, here are five Maxine moments that will give you strength and demonstrate her fabulousness. Reclaim your online device and enjoy!

1. In what might be the most concise, to-the-point press conference ever, Waters stood before a microphone in January and took about 30 seconds to give a no-comment comment on a briefing from then-FBI director James Comey. During it, she did manage to say he had "no credibility." She didn't literally drop the mic, but metaphorically? Oh yes.

2. In April, Waters addressed protesters calling for President Donald Trump to release his tax returns. Affirming her commitment to work every day until Trump is impeached, she led an "Impeach 45" chant and urged, "My millennials, stay woke." At 79, she's still beyond relevant.

3. Another classic? When Waters in no uncertain terms explained on MSNBC why she would be boycotting Trump's inauguration."I don't honor him, I don't respect him and I don't want to be involved with him," she said, after repeating all the specific reasons why.

4. And now for the classic "reclaiming my time," which spoke to every woman whose voice has ever been drowned out by a sea of man-splaining, or in Treasury Secretary Mnuchin's case, by bloviating designed to run out the clock on Walters' questions. Here's a sample of his astonishment as a catch-phrase was born.

5. After "reclaiming my time" became a national phenomenon, Waters addressed rumors on "The View" that she might run for president in 2020. Check at about the 3:30 mark for her response that had the audience cheering.

Bonus: Here's a gospel-tinged tribute to "reclaiming my time" that went viral on Youtube, earning 400,000-plus views for Mykal Kilgore. (P.S.: You can see Waters being serenaded by him in person near the end of the previous clip from 'The View').
